Greenhithe · United KingdomPublished figures
PremiumCinemaIQ rates this Showcase XPlus room C, 33/100 — a modest premium screen, 138 m² of lit picture. No source names the projector in this room, so the score is indicative. Data read 5 November 2026.
The only Showcase XPlus with published dimensions: 16 × 8.6 m, 4K. Originally opened 13 Dec 2013 as an IMAX and CONVERTED TO XPLUS IN JUNE 2022 - a rare documented case of a chain replacing a licensed giant screen with its own badge on the same physical screen. Coordinates not published.
